Abstract

The physical probabilities that occur in quantum theory can be given a metaphysical frequency interpretation in terms of the branching-universe theory; since the probability of an event can be interpreted as the proportion of branches in which the event occurs. It is possible, but fantastically improbable according to statistical mechanics that the molecules in the air surrounding a man might move in such a manner that the air pressure above him became appreciable less than the pressure below him, so that he would levitate. If by a mental act, a Yogi could affect the physical probabilities in the space around himself, not merely those in his own nervous system as in an ordinary decision, then, among other things, he might be able to cause himself to levitate.
